A "significant" number of people have been killed in mass shootings at two mosques in New Zealand.

At least one gunman opened fire on worshippers with dozens of people feared dead in the attacks in Christchurch on Friday.

The attacker live-streamed as he entered one of the mosques and opened fire.

A nationwide warning was issued with officials urging all mosques in the country to close as a precaution amid the major police operation.
